Sounds like a Rocket Assisted Projectile (RAP), but hard to say from the article. In the 1980s the Navy was working on a RAP round for the 16″/50. It was an 11″ sabot with laser guidance and a 65 nm range. If you’re designing a ship for ASuW and NGFS (what the Zumwalt was supposed to be) wouldn’t a 16″/50 with an autoloader be the weapon of choice?
